Hi John, I got the impression you only fly solo - True ? If so you are exempt, but of all the equipment in the plane, the ELT is one I would certainly want working :-) So, I'd send the $20 - $30 to get an 121.5 if I was not flying across the boarders. I see there is a batch of 4 complete ELT's

The answer to your question is absolutely, there should be screws at the edge of the prop blade openings on the aft bulkhead. With regards to the front bulkhead, it may or may not need one. It's been my experience that most aluminum spinners need a front bulkhead as well. I was quite surprise

Mine sure will, and I would suggest you add them. You have what looks like a small aluminum spinner. You may not need a forward bulkhead if the spinner and backer plate is strong enough. If you know the spinner manufacturer I would check to see if they recommend a front bulkhead. I will be using

Guys, please see: http://www.mykr2.com/1229292337017.jpg Shouldn't there be a pair of screws in these locations, near to the prop blade opening? Maybe the prior owners never felt this was finished? And how the heck do you fabricate that forward spinner bulkhead and fit it to the interior sha

Dan, I believe the regs say that if the airplane is equipped to carry no more than one person, an ELT is not required. So, if you fly solo in a KR-2 that was built with the intention of carrying a passenger, an ELT is still required. Ed Janssen From: "Dan Heath" Unless they have recently

I know when I went from a VW to an 0-200 I had to have the FAA come out and inspect the install. They consider that a major mod and all major mods have to be inspected. He gave me 5 hrs. This was the Fort Worth FAA. The FAA records still show the plane with a VW. I don't believe they ever change

2 things, In the regs just posted (e) 4 seems to indicate that while flying off the 40 hours (testing) it is NOT required, did I get that right? (I concur w/Mark L, these 40 hrs are not a good time to be without one). Canada's regs imposes a unilateral trade restriction. I wonder if Nafta or o

Unless they have recently changed the rules in the US, if you are flying solo, you are not required to have an ELT. If you are not changing the engine, different kind or size, then, just keep on flying off the hours. If you changed from a VW to a Cont, or something like that, then only 5 hours is
